Let's do another #NFLDraft Capital Thread.

Similar to WRs and draft capital which I shared yesterday, there appears to be a trend for RBs where it's much harder for talent to break out if draft after the mid-3rd round...

It’s hard to predict the future of #FantasyFootball

Especially when you’re projecting which rookies will have the greatest impact in both the short and long term.

My hope is this thread and yesterday’s thread show one benchmark you can use for better decision making on Rookies

Our rosters are limited and we can’t get them all right, so let’s try to get more right than we get wrong.

Process > Results

Let’s have some fun with this #NFLDraft tomorrow!
